We don’t need exponentially more physical qubits because we have quantum error correction schemes that exponentially decrease the logical error rate with only a polynomial increase…

Several approaches are better than the break even point today, including the Google demonstration of error correction working to reduce logical errors: https://www.nature.com/artic…

You can track resource estimates for different problems against QC performance here: https://metriq.info/progress It crowdsources new submissions to the chart if there are ones you…

The cQASM that you link to is one of the flavors of QASM. Another commonly used one is openqasm whose 2.0 and 3.0 specs are here: https://github.com/Qiskit/openqasm Along with QIR …

If open source quantum computing is your thing then https://unitary.fund/ could use help supporting and mentoring projects. We're domain specific, but this might be a model others …

Another open source Python framework is Forest from Rigetti Computing. https://www.rigetti.com/products A simple getting started post on a similar topic is here: https://medium.com…

There is a Bay Area Quantum Computing meetup (I'm one of the organizers!) https://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-Quantum-Computing-Meetup/ Next one will likely be at the end of July. Hope…

This is a great question! I've worked a lot on this topic and its crucial to understanding how quantum computers will be used in the near term. While I don't have an easy answer fo…

We haven't integrated arbitrary circuit execution features in yet, but when we do we'll make the transition as smooth as possible. It's important to remember though that noise is a…

Signing up automatically gives you access to run on the simulator. For select users, we are providing some limited access to one of our prototype quantum processors. It's the one d…

If you're looking for a short, and practical introduction using Python, then one is included as part of the documentation for pyQuil (part of the Forest toolkit): http://pyquil.rea…

The largest full quantum computer simulation done so far is 45-qubits which was performed on the Cori supercomputer [0][1]. The main limitation in these kinds of exact simulations …

There are libraries todat that let you do quantum programming! A simple Python library to get started with quantum programming is https://pyquil.readthedocs.io/en/latest/overview.h…

Thinking about this demonstration as an experiment could be a little misleading. It's somewhere between an experiment and a benchmark. Nobody has any reason to expect new physics b…

The best book out there is still Quantum Computation and Quantum Information by Nielsen and Chuang. It isn't quite current, as it lacks both the advances in hardware (superconducti…

This is great! There's a really cool ecosystem of Python tools for quantum computers that's coming out. Check them out if you'd like to learn more about quantum programming: IBM's …

The textbook by Nielsen and Chuang is great. If you're looking for an abridged interactive one then you might be interested in the one in the documentation for pyQuil: http://pyqui…

This list is great, but appears to be a little out of date. A new crop of programming tools has recently emerged as the field grows from academia into industry efforts: Forest http…

Hi Xcelerate, Will Zeng from Rigetti Computing here. While you're right that it is a bit of a move, backgrounds in computational chemistry are very interesting to us as quantum sim…

Yep it's coming, and that's right where you'll find it -[I'm one of the authors]. Really great to see people interested. Happy to answer questions in the meantime.
